Hey California Gardening, thanks for the nice video! I have eggplants and have problems with the aphids, taking care now with neem oil. Could you give me an advice on how often to spray with the oil. Also, how often do you fertilize your eggplants?

@CaliforniaGardening 4 жыл бұрын

Spray neem oil every 3 days till you don't see any aphids. For fertilizers use tomato/vegetable fertilizer and also worm tea every 10 days. You can get worm tea from vermisterra.com use coupon code cag for 10% off

New gardener here-thanks for the video. So when you pollinate them with a toothbrush, you just vibrate the back of the flower for a few seconds? What other vegetables should you do this with?

You have to do it with tomatoes too. I dont use the toothbrush, I do soft vibrations with my fingers.

@Lochness19 2 жыл бұрын

I personally prefer guidelines on how long to grow young plants indoors before transplanting. For example, here our last frost is Apr 14 on average, but two weeks after that is still too cold imo, with an average high of 55F and average low of 40F. I think 6 weeks after last frost is a better time to transplant heat loving plants - when the average high is 70F and average low is 50F. Maybe even 7-8 weeks after last frost for an average high of 75F and average low of 55F. Some climates are very warm soon after their last frost (ex southern US), but more oceanic type climates might still be quite cool. So I prefer guidelines like "start seedlings 8-10 weeks before the time when you have 50-60F nights".

Hello sir thanks for sharing...it's really helpful. I got question and maybe can help me. My eggplant is of 8" hight now and i noticed that the leave below are 1 by 1 turning yellow then dropped hence it continue growing. I give fertilizer last week of 16 16 16 npk 2 weeks after repotting. Do you have an idea of the yellow leaves problem? Thanks in advance. Pot got 15% vermicast + 55% potting soil + 15 coco coir + 2 tbsp of bone meal + 15% premium compost. Approximately though. 😁 i worry that if i feed more it'll be over fertilised. 🙄

I have a problem with eggplant seeds germination , hardly any of the seeds germinate although I tried different seeds from different companies and I live in a very warm area. Any suggestion?

@CyberSerene 4 жыл бұрын

Have you tried some kind of cover over the seeds to keep up the humidity and keep the soil moist? It can also help to leave them out of the sun until they germinate. I also plant three seeds per seed start... if more than one germinates I found they transplant easily The other thing is they took a LONG time to germinate. I think around two weeks for me. My cabbages and tomatoes were inches tall before my eggplants emerged!
